A HEALTHY KIND OF A TOWN,

The town that manufactures the
most of what it needs is the most in
dependent. Winston-Salem goes out
side for very little.
1t encases its legs in home made
socks or stockings (being an 1t, we are
at loss to say which it wears), makes
its own furniture, harness, machinery
and-now we have it, it's he, for it
chews its own tobacco and smokes its
own cigars, and wears its own breech
made from homemade cloth.
After all, we'll have to change our
decision and admit that it's she, for
it makes its own brooms and bread.
That settles it.
Anyway, whether its he, she or 1t,
or is nondescript, the fact never-the-
less remains that Winston-SaIem is
about as nearly independent as any
town in North Carolina, It's citizens
patronize home Industries and believe
in their town. Numbering already
about $4,000 inhabitants, it opens
wide its gates and invites big portion
of the outside world to come and par
take of its many advantages. Win
ston-Salem wants a portion of that
food Of men and money that is just
now pouring into the South, and can
offer unsurpassed inducements.
Either the Chamber of Commerce
or the newspapers would be glad to
furnish information to prospective
citizens.

Shall the Guard go to Richmond on
the 27th.

We must, in all candor, say that
we think it disgrace to this grand
Old Commonwealth, to send her citi-
zen soldiery on such a patriotic expe-
dition and then ask them to pay their
own way. Every State who sent her
troops to the Centennial at Philadel-
phia, and the competitive drill at
Washington City, D. c., betrayed
every expense of the trip and allowed
them a per diem in addition, except
North Carolina, and now the same
thing is proposed again. It is cry
ing shame and disgrace for a great
State like this to ever make such q
proposition as this, much less to put it
in the shape of general order. The
circular letter says, "a camping ground
water, fuel and straw will be furnish
ed by the military committee of the
Lee Monument Association"
It il not right to expect troops to
bear their own expenses on such an
expedition, and it is well known that
the people are NOT going to respond as
the Adjutant suggests here or else
where.
North Carolina ought by all mean.
to be represented, and the State should
pay for it.-Ostord IorchIight.

THE Statesville Mail tells a story
about negro slapping the President
on the back and calling him "Grovy,
old boy when he passed through
Baltimore, and says that Mrs. Cleve-
land presented her delicate, dimpled
hand to be shaken.
That wasn't the way we heard it.
We heard that a white man named
Herman did greet the President with
such an expression and that Mr.. Cleve-
land did shake hands with him, but
we didn't get to that part where Mrs.
Cleveland's hand was extended and
we didn't hear either that the man
was of that eDon hue so fashionable
with the MaiPs party brothers. There
Iaay be a truth in the Mails state
ment, but if 50 it's face is 80 terribly
distorted that its own grandmother
wouldn't know it.

be proud of her University and to-day
it has more cause than ever before.
The University, not content with Civ
ing an education to the few who are
able to take an extended course, is
reaching right down among the peo-'
pie and doing its best to give them adj
vantage OF its learning and culture.
Along with the Industrial high-tide
that is sweeping south, is forward
movement along all educational lines.
The schools must be better, the teach
ers more thorough, the instruction
more complete than ever before, and
it is fitting that the University should
first recognize this and be the first to
speed the movement.
Once a celebrated sculptor took a
formless piece of marble and by def
strokes here and there, soon trans
formed it into thing of beauty. The
hard lines lost their rigidity, and forth
from the unsightly stone the artist
wrought an angel white as the lily,
and more beautiful than the craven
form of Apollo or of Venus.
So the teacher can mould the hum
an mind into thing of beauty. By
artistic strokes he brings forth from
uncouth, untutored children, men and
women Of finest mould-an honor te
their State and time.
But the teacher must be an artist
and must be equipped with an artists
tools. These the University is now Of
fering to furnish free to the teacher
| of our State.
The SENTINEL is in full sympathy
with every movement tending to thu
advancement of the old North State
and in this new departure it see'
much of good and much of worth t.
the people.
Let every teacher, who possibly can
attend this school OF normal instruct
ion and fit himself better for his grea
work. Let him become an artist ant
use an artists tools, and North Caro-
lima will be the better off for his hav
ing lived and taught.

YESTERDAY Knight Of Labor
stepped into the SENTINEL office and
propounded this query: "What do
you think of Cleveland and Powderly
for a presidential ticket ?" The SEN
TINEL thinks it very good one.
Cleveland is undoubtedly the man for
our next President, while no man
stands forth in great prominence for
Vice President. Mr.. Powderly is a
Democrat, is man Of tact and abili-
ty and his position on the ticket would
insure the solid labor VOTE We would
be glad to see that ticket in the field.

In another column will be found a
free teachers course offered by our
State University.
Recognizing the fact that much of
It's material must come from the COM
mon school and that its success de-
ponds largely upon the condition of
the public school, the University is
making an effort to elevate and
broaden the teachers of the State. It
wants more teachers and better teach
ers and more thorough common school
education than has ever been known
In North Carolina and is adopting
the best means for attaining it. In
doing SO it is showing what has never
been doubted-its complete sympathy
with the great mass of the people, and
its interest in their welfare. North

A Miscellaneous Mixture Of Points,
Personal, Political, Social, and In
dustria1 That tho Papers are Talking
About.
Now if you want to carry the State
by the majority that we are entitled to,
you must let the people act and not
let the petty party leaders and cross
road teachers take control of the par
ty and make the nominations.-Dens-
oerat IN Wilmington Messenger.
IF Judge Bond Is only li.table in
heaven, as the poet said of our Con-
federate securities, then we are afraid
the celestial census will not show as
large a citizenship as is expected.
Bond will seek to enjoin admission be-
yond q certain nuaher.-W Wilmington
Messenger.
The innate disposition of Repub-
lican to do dirty thing is illustrated
by the fact that in Baltimore the
chairman of the Republican City Com
mittee is an eavesdropper by profess
sion, and glorious in the fact that he
can put his ear to the wall and over
hear private conversation. Evidently
his ear is larger but not as respectable
as that of scavenger's donkey
Whining ON Messenger.
The press dispatches say that an en-
thusiastic old lady tried to kiss the
President at the reception in St. Louis,
and Cleveland refused to kiss her.
Mark you, it was an cold lady" Be
sides, Mrs. Cleveland was close by.
Still with these important palliating
circumstances we cannot entirely over
look this grievous error of his. Is not
the President the servant of the peo-
pie and shall they not kiss him if they
want to? Perish the thought! Now,
Brother Kitchen, up and at him.

| Senator Vance never "talls in line
with the procession" He always
leads the Democratic column to victo
nv. At the commencement of tbs
present Administration the President
was not an ultra Democrat. He be
lieyed-and rightly believea-that 8
national "about face" would frighten
the North, and produce political ano
financial convulsion. Therefore, b,
moved cautiously, with the hope of in
spring confidence. Gradually hi
purpose unfolded, and in the fullnes
of time he appeared in the magnifceL
proportions of a full grown Democrat
, On the other hand, Vance was fully
developed before Cleveland wa
